Beautiful! Montana is the best agate and best lapidary material of them all. This stuff sets the standard. Great work!

Nice looking cabs. Maybe you need a hand model.
Peace,

I guess the cabbing is the reason you're back to slabbing.

Montanas I typically rough out on my wheels, and toss in the tumbler to finish. Easier to get the high polish shine. youve got some really nice material.
